<p>^ The students who are admitted at Stanford are smart enough to prioritize academics or academic prestige over campus, quality of life, students, etc… Besides, I cannot imagine USC’s campus is superior to or better than Stanford’s. I also don’t think the “quality of life” (althoug I admit I’m not sure what you mean by this) is better at USC than at Stanford. And, certainly, I don’t believe top students would choose USC over Stanford because of the students, for Stanford students are superior to that of USC’s. </p>
<p>I’m not trying to be condescending here. I just can’t believe there’s something USC has the Stanford doesn’t other than majoring in films.</p>
